hardy-flowering vines. The flowers are pure white. 
These clusters are borne on long slender stems. The 
fragrance is delicious, resembling the English haw- 
thorn blossoms, and is so subtile and penetrating that 
a large plant in bloom will fill the air with fragrance.

tember, at a time when most other hardy climbers are 
out of bloom, an inestimable advantage. It is astrong, 
tapid grower, quickly reaching a height of from 15 
to 20 feet, and spreading out when trained to wires or 
strings. It is perfectly hardy in all sections of the
